Growing up, one of my all-time favorite treats to nosh on were rice crispies. My mom would always whip up a big batch of these sticky little bars of pure joy for my friends and I. I remember grabbing up a few of them and heading outdoors to play for the afternoon.

This recipe for rice crispy treats ups the ante a bit by adding in chocolate and peanut butter to the mix. Talk about a little square of heaven! What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to make. You can create a simple and quick dessert to take to any function in abut 20 minutes. Now, that’s my kind of dessert!

Take a look at what my friends at The Pioneer Woman had to say about this wonderful chocolate peanut butter rice crispy treat recipe:

“This recipe is a riff on traditional Rice Krispies bars and a recipe from my aunt June’s recipe box. My aunt’s recipe is smaller-portioned, with less overall marshmallows, and has been a longtime favorite that has graced many picnics and weekend camping trips.

There are only 5 ingredients to this recipe, nice and simple. But promise not to freak out when you see how many marshmallows I stuffed into these bars!”
